How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

desktop embedding usage 01
desktop embedding usage

desktop windows manager goes wild trying to rending the graphics of the embedding loading screen. using 10 to 20% of the gpu to render the little moving circles seems excessive?

Are there known steps to reproduce?

embedded 10 pdfs files at a time..

Are we sure that is the process for the frontend? If you are using the built-in embedder then what is occurring is the Xenova transformers.js running the local embedder - which would make perfect since to consume resources since we are running a local embedder model on the computer.

Looking at this now the task manager is showing this use on CPU with only 0.7% GPU. This checks out. The embedder runs on CPU, so yeah - the local default embedder is running so of course it will use the CPU - that is how it works and runs locally.

To add some more context.. when i minimize the anytignllm window, while it it busy doing embedding's.. the desktop manager process immediately drops to under 1% gpu.. or none at all.. as soon I as show the anythingllm app window again.. the desktop manager fires up to 10 to 20% gpu to render the spinning circles., whilst i wait for the embeddings job to finish.
